“…These concepts are referred to as Low Impact Development (LID, used in this paper) in the USA [12], Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) in Australia [13], and Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) in the United Kingdom [14]. LID covers a range of tools and planning strategies, including green roofs, pervious pavement, or bio-retention, but also the minimization of required impervious surfaces through planning and layout of newly constructed areas [12,15].…”

Urbanization leads to the replacement of natural areas by impervious surfaces and affects the catchment hydrological cycle with adverse environmental impacts. Low impact development tools (LID) that mimic hydrological processes of natural areas have been developed and applied to mitigate these impacts. Hydrological simulations are one possibility to evaluate the LID performance but the associated small-scale processes require a highly spatially distributed and explicit modeling approach. However, detailed data for model development are often not available for large urban areas, hampering the model parameterization. In this paper we propose a methodology to parameterize a hydrological model to a large, ungauged urban area by maintaining at the same time a detailed surface discretization for direct parameter manipulation for LID simulation and a firm reliance on available data for model conceptualization. Catchment delineation was based on a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) and model parameterization relied on a novel model regionalization approach. The impact of automated delineation and model regionalization on simulation results was evaluated for three monitored study catchments (5.87-12.59 ha). The simulated runoff peak was most sensitive to accurate catchment discretization and calibration, while both the runoff volume and the fit of the hydrograph were less affected.

“…Some of the most popular practices of LID in the urban areas are bioretention, grass swales, permeable pavements and vegetated rooftops. By using these practice the amount of Effective Impervious Area (EIA) will be diminished [11,13]. Based on the case studies, urbanization increased the impacts on hydrologic characteristics of the streams [14].…”

“…Overall, reducing the impervious surfaces can diminish the volume of runoff produces by rainfall. Numerous methods can be used to decrease the effect of losing pervious areas such as permeable pavement, permeable asphalt, green roofs, creation of more vegetation [13].…”

The conventional practices of urbanization significantly increase the flooding and water pollution. This is due to reduction in pervious areas. To minimize the problem, various concepts of low impact development have been implemented such as underground bioretention cells. The main intention of this research was to review different aspects of Low Impacts Developments (LIDs) especially bioretention cells and develop a hydraulic model to predict the distribution of runoff throughout the bioretention cell under different scenarios. In this study, the hydraulic simulation model was developed in Matlab in order to attain better understanding of bioretention systems. The hydraulic model was used to investigate the impacts of different design options on the distribution of flows over the entire bioretention cell. Understanding the effect of design options can be beneficial to improve the performance of bioretention systems and improving the water quality and quantity in developed areas.

“…Some of these measures include reducing imperviousness, conserving natural resources and ecosystems, as well as constructing Green Infrastructure (GI). GIs are infrastructure which are implemented for LID purposes; some well-known examples of GIs are bioretention cells, green roofs and permeable pavements [9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

This review compares and evaluates eleven Low Impact Development (LID) models on the basis of: (i) general model features including the model application, the temporal resolution, the spatial data visualization, the method of placing LID within catchments; (ii) hydrological modelling aspects including: the type of inbuilt LIDs, water balance model, runoff generation and infiltration; and (iii) hydraulic modelling methods with a focus on the flow routing method. Results show that despite the recent updates of existing LID models, several important features are still missing and need improvement. These features include the ability to model: multi-layer subsurface media, tree canopy and processes associated with vegetation, different spatial scales, snowmelt and runoff calculations. This review provides in-depth insight into existing LID models from a hydrological and hydraulic point of view, which will facilitate in selecting the best-suited model. Recommendations on further studies and LID model development are also presented.
